Gratiot Historical Museum opens for Summer Saturdays

The Gratiot Historical Museum, 129 W. Center St. in Ithaca, will be open on June 29, July 27 and Aug. 24 during the summer, as well as every Wednesday afternoon. Hours are 1 to 4 p.m. There is no charge to view the many antique quilts and sewing related items as well as the store exhibit of county businesses from the past. The barn will also be open on Saturdays for those interested in old farm tools and horse-drawn implements and buggies.

During the summer, an antique quilt top belonging to the museum is being hand quilted by Linda Weburg, co-curator, at the museum. Any quilters wishing to help with this project are invited to come to the museum during opening hours.
